Ang Pagtutuli at ang Pagdiriwang ng Paskwa sa Gilgal
5 Nabalitaan ng mga haring Amoreo na nasa kanluran ng Jordan at ng mga haring Cananeo na nasa baybayin ng Dagat Mediteraneo na pinatuyo ni Yahweh ang Ilog Jordan nang tumawid ang bayang Israel. Dahil dito'y natakot silang lahat, at nasiraan sila ng loob sa pagdating ng mga Israelita.
2 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Kumuha ka ng batong matalim, gawin mong panghiwa, at tuliin mo ang mga kalalakihan ng Israel.” 3 Gayon nga ang ginawa ni Josue, tinuli niya ang mga lalaki sa isang lugar na tinatawag na Burol ng Pagtutuli. 4 Ginawa niya ito sapagkat namatay na ang lahat ng mga lalaking may sapat na gulang upang makipagdigma sa panahon ng paglalakbay noong sila'y umalis sa Egipto. 5 Ang mga iyon ay pawang tuli na, ngunit ang mga isinilang sa panahon ng paglalakbay sa ilang ay hindi pa. 6 Apatnapung(A) taon nang naglakbay sa ilang ang bayang Israel hanggang sa namatay lahat ang mga lalaking may sapat na gulang upang makipagdigma nang sila'y umalis sa Egipto. Sinuway nila si Yahweh, kaya sinabi niya sa kanila na hindi nila makikita ang mayaman at masaganang lupain na ipinangako niya sa kanilang mga ninuno. 7 Ang kanilang mga anak na lalaki na humalili sa kanila ang tinuli ni Josue, sapagkat ang mga ito'y hindi tinuli nang panahon ng paglalakbay.
8 Matapos tuliin ang lahat ng kalalakihan, nanatili sa kampo ang buong bayan hanggang sa gumaling ang mga sugat. 9 At sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Inalis ko ngayon ang kahihiyan ng pagkaalipin ninyo sa Egipto.” Kaya't ang lugar na iyon ay tinawag na Gilgal[a] magpahanggang ngayon.
10 Samantalang(B) ang mga Israelita ay nasa Gilgal sa kapatagan ng Jerico, ipinagdiwang nila ang Paskwa noong kinagabihan ng ikalabing apat na araw ng unang buwan. 11 Kinaumagahan, araw pa rin ng Paskwa, kumain sila ng mga pagkaing inani nila sa lupaing iyon: sinangag na trigo at tinapay na walang pampaalsa. 12 Hindi(C) na muling umulan pa ng manna nang makakain na sila ng mga inani nila sa lupain ng Canaan. Kaya't mula nang taóng iyon, pagkaing inaani na sa Canaan ang kanilang kinakain.
Si Josue at ang Pinuno ng Hukbo ni Yahweh
13 Minsa'y napadako si Josue malapit sa Jerico, nang biglang nagpakita sa kanya ang isang lalaking may hawak na tabak. Nilapitan ito ni Josue at tinanong, “Ikaw ba'y isang kakampi, o isang kaaway?”
14 “Hindi,” sagot ng lalaki. “Ako'y naparito bilang pinuno ng hukbo ni Yahweh.”
Nagpatirapa si Josue at sumamba. Sinabi niya, “Ano po ang ipinag-uutos ni Yahweh sa kanyang alipin?”
15 Sumagot ang pinuno ng hukbo ni Yahweh, “Alisin mo ang iyong mga sandalyas sapagkat lupang banal ang iyong tinutuntungan.” At ginawa nga ni Josue ang iniutos sa kanya.

The New Generation Circumcised
5 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites (A)who were by the sea, (B)heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts (C)melted and (D)there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make (E)flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.[a] 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: (F)all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they had come out of Egypt. 5 Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people who were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the people of Israel walked (G)forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord; the Lord (H)swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give to us, (I)a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So it was (J)their children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the (K)reproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called (L)Gilgal[b] to this day.
First Passover in Canaan
10 While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover (M)on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11 And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12 And (N)the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The Commander of the Lord's Army
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, (O)a man was standing before him (P)with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14 And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” And Joshua (Q)fell on his face to the earth and worshiped[c] and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, (R)“Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

New International Version
Joshua 5
New International Version
5 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast(A) heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[a] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear(B) and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives(C) and circumcise(D) the Israelites again.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.[b]
4 Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age(E)—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt.(F) 5 All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not. 6 The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness(G) forty years(H) until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us,(I) a land flowing with milk and honey.(J) 7 So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8 And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.(K)
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the place has been called Gilgal[c](L) to this day.
10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month,(M) while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.(N) 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land:(O) unleavened bread(P) and roasted grain.(Q) 12 The manna stopped the day after[d] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.(R)
The Fall of Jericho
13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man(S) standing in front of him with a drawn sword(T) in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown(U) to the ground(V) in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[e] have for his servant?”
15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.”(W) And Joshua did so.
